Chris Cadden, a notable figure of Scottish football, was born on 19 September 1996, which makes him 28 years old as of now. This Scottish-born defender primarily plays as a right-back for Hibernian Football Club. He stands at a strapping 6 feet (1.83m) high and weighs in at a solid 11st 13lb (76kg). On the field, he presents a formidable figure with the number 12 jersey.
Cadden's journey in professional football kicked off in July 2013 when he joined Motherwell, a team in the Scottish Premiership. During his debut 2013-2014 season, he made three first-team appearances in league matches. Season after season, Cadden's contribution increased, evidenced by the 2015-2016 season during which he made 20 appearances and scored two goals. Over the next two seasons, he retained his strong presence on the field, making 36 and 33 appearances respectively and netting four goals.
In an intriguing turn of events, in March 2015, Cadden switched gears from the Scottish Premiership to the Lowland League, moving from Motherwell to Albion Rovers on loan. Despite this being his first stint in the Lowland League, Cadden was quick to adapt, making ten first-team appearances and scoring two goals during the 2014-2015 season at Albion Rovers.
After a successful run, Cadden returned to Motherwell upon the completion of his loan assignment with Albion Rovers in June 2015. His return marked further blossoming of his career, with increased match appearances and goals, the peak being the 2016-2017 season where he scored three goals in 36 matches.
In July 2019, Cadden made a significant decision to transfer from Motherwell to Columbus Crew in the USA's Major League Soccer (MLS). While the transfer fee remains undisclosed, Cadden's international move saw his US career initiating with eight first-team appearances for Columbus Crew in the 2020 season.
Yet, the completion of 2020 led to another loan assignment for Cadden, where this time he found himself playing for Oxford United in England's Championship league. Eventually, he returned to Columbus Crew in January 2020, rounding off his MLS stint with eight appearances.
Finally, as of January 2021, Cadden transferred back to Scottish soil, this time joining Hibernian in the Premiership. Here, he has created a lasting impact with numerous appearances and three goals scored over three seasons so far. As of the current 2024-2025 season, Cadden has accrued 30 appearances demonstrating his integral role in the Hibernian team.
Inter-club matches have also seen Cadden's participation for Hibernian, with him starting in the 2024-2025 League Cup and making several appearances in the Scottish Cup during the same year. His performances both nationally and internationally have played a significant role in his career trajectory, marking him as a valued figure in the realm of professional football.
